DC Designs F-15 and SC Designs F-16 default config?

I've really enjoyed both planes since I bought them, but was wondering if there's a way to change the default fuel tank/weapons loadout for both aircraft. I don't particularly care that they have external and/or conformal tanks in view when loaded.

Dave, yeah, just adjust the fuel loads in Tanks 2 and 3 in the F-16 to get rid of the conformals.

If you look at the fuel screen in setup, it tells you how much weight to put on each station to make various weapons appear.

If you mean you want to have missiles/tanks on those stations by default, good question. Paging Dean?
 
Hi,

You can add the weight by default by modifying the values in the "flightmodel.cfg" (Note you will have to do this after every update).

Step1: make a backup of your flightmodel.cfg (example copy it to flightmodel.org

Step2: open the file in notepad

Step3: search for the section called "[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]"

Example from the TBM (the first value in every line is the weight, bold below, so here you put in the weight of the weapons):

station_load.0 = 170, -15.54, -1.5, 1.5, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PILOT, 1 ;15.2
station_load.1 = 170, -15.54, 1.5, 1.5, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.COPILOT, 2 ;15.2
station_load.2 = 0, -19.325, -1.5, 1.5, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.FRONT_PAX_LEFT, 4 ;19
station_load.3 = 0, -19.325, 1.5, 1.5, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.FRONT_PAX_RIGHT, 4 ;19
station_load.4 = 0, -22.788, -1.5, 1.5, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.REAR_PAX_LEFT, 5 ;23
station_load.5 = 0, -22.788, 1.5, 1.5, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.REAR_PAX_RIGHT, 5 ;23
station_load.6 = 0, -25.72, 0, 1.5, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.REAR_BAGGAGE, 6
station_load.7 = 0, -11.4, -1.5, 0.6, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.FORWARD_BAGGAGE, 6


Hope it helps,

Marcel

Thanks - exactly what I'm looking for. I'll try it later today.
Edit: What about removing the external fuel/conformal tanks from view?

Almost the same way, in the fuel section [Fuel] make the location and capacity zero. Example from the FI Spitfire:

[FUEL]
LeftMain = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
RightMain = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Center1 = -1.20, 0, -0.5, 102.09, 0.2
Center2 = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Center3 = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
LeftAux = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
LeftTip = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
RightAux = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
RightTip = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
External1 = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
//External1 = 0, 0, -3.0, 74.940002, 0.2

I got the weapons to display, but I'll have to experiment with the external/conformal tanks settings. I want the ability to add/remove them as desired, but not in view as the default config.
